Inspections that take a phone, not an afternoon of typing
A standard UK checklist, photos rated as you take them, and a PDF report that compares this visit with the last. The next visit is diarised for you, so inspections happen on a rhythm rather than when something has already gone wrong.

The short answer
What is property inspection software?
Property inspection software records what a property looked like on the day of a visit during a tenancy, in a form you can produce later. It replaces a notebook, a camera roll and a report typed up that evening.
LetCompliance gives each visit a standard UK checklist, covering smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, damp and mould, general condition and occupancy, with pass, issue or not applicable and a note for each. You can add your own questions to it.
Photos are taken on your phone during the walk, each with a caption and its own rating from excellent to poor, up to 20 a visit. The visit also gets an overall grade, and the PDF report compares it with the previous inspection so a slow decline is visible.
You can email the tenant written notice of the visit date from the app, which is recorded, and email them the report afterwards. Reminders arrive 30 days and 7 days before the next visit is due, and again if it becomes overdue.
What it does
Three things that make an inspection worth doing.
A checklist that does not forget
Alarms, damp and mould, condition and occupancy are asked every time, with pass, issue or not applicable and a note, plus any questions you add yourself.
Photos rated as you go
Each photo gets a caption and its own rating, so one problem area is visible without dragging down a whole property. Photos open the phone camera directly and iPhone formats are converted.
A report compared with the last one
The PDF shows this visit alongside the previous inspection, with the overall grade, and can be downloaded or emailed to the tenant from the app.
In detail
What an inspection records
The detail behind the headline features.
- Visit types
- Routine, move-in, move-out, maintenance and emergency visits, each dated and kept in order.
- Notice to the tenant
- Email the tenant the visit date from the app; the message reminds you that they are owed 24 hours’ notice of the time, and the send is recorded.
- Reminders for the next visit
- Emails 30 days and 7 days before the next inspection is due, and again if it becomes overdue.
- One board for the portfolio
- Every property’s last and next inspection on one screen, so nothing goes unvisited for a year by accident.
- Your own questions
- Add questions to the checklist, such as garden upkeep or a condition in your agreement.
- A visit done for you
- If you cannot attend, an inspection visit can be booked as a one-off order for £80, with the report emailed to you.

Questions
Questions, answered
Which plans include inspections?
The inspection software is on every plan, including the free plan for one property. Check-in and check-out inventory reports are separate and on the Portfolio plan and above. An inspection visit by someone else is a one-off order.
How much notice does a tenant need?
In England a landlord normally gives at least 24 hours’ written notice of a visit and arranges a time with the tenant. The app emails the tenant the date; agree the time with them and keep their reply.
How many photos can I add?
Up to 20 a visit, each with a caption and a rating of excellent, good, fair or poor. Photos can be taken straight from the phone camera.
Can the tenant have a copy of the report?
Yes. Download the PDF or email it to the tenant from the inspection.
Does a problem found on a visit become a repair?
You log the repair against the same property from the maintenance log, adding the photo from your visit as its before picture. The two sit side by side in the property’s record.
How often should I inspect?
There is no fixed legal interval. Many landlords inspect every three to six months; set the next date after each visit and the reminders follow.

I let property myself, so I know what it costs to juggle an agent, a spreadsheet and a handful of reminder apps just to stay on the right side of the law. LetCompliance puts all of it behind one login: advertise the property, take applications, collect the rent, and keep every certificate and notice in order, each taken straight from GOV.UK.
